The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

Autor F. Scott Fitzgerald
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 6 apr 2027
From the author of The Great Gatsby, this collection sees F. Scott Fitzgerald deftly chronicle heartbreak, astonishment and romance across three stories, where fortunes can change in an instant and couples break apart, only to be reunited again. An accomplished novelist and short story writer, renowned for his portraits of American society during the Jazz Age, these tales exemplify F. Scott Fitzgerald's talent.

The Bridal Party is set in 1930s Paris. Mike, a young American, reluctantly attends the wedding festivities of Caroline, the woman he is still in love with. Will she change her mind when she learns that Mike has now come into money? Over in Baltimore, a couple are taken back as they realise there is something bizarre about their newborn baby. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button tells a life story like no other. And Love in the Night sketches the whirlwind love shared between a young man from a wealthy Russian family, and the older married woman who he briefly meets and will never quite forget.

This series of pocket-sized paperbacks celebrates the art of the short story and marks Macmillan Collector's Library's 10th anniversary. Each contains a curated selection of short stories from a literary giant: Katherine Mansfield, Arthur Conan Doyle, Edgar Allen Poe, Oscar Wilde, Jane Austen, James, Joyce, Virginia Woolf, Alice Dunbar Nelson, F. Scott Fitzgerald and Rabindranath Tagore.

Notă biografică

F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896-1940) was born in St Paul, Minnesota. At Princeton University he decided to become a writer, leaving without graduating in 1917 to join the army as America entered the First World War. Believing he would be killed at the front, he hurriedly wrote the novel that would become This Side of Paradise, which was published in 1920 to great acclaim. He married Zelda Sayre and they embarked on an extravagant lifestyle in New York. Their marriage was blighted by alcoholism, mental illness and financial strife. Fitzgerald subsequently wrote The Beautiful and Damned (1922), The Great Gatsby (1925) and Tender is the Night (1934). Fitzgerald died aged forty-four and is regarded as one of America's greatest and most influential writers.
